Don't waste your time coding - part 1

Life is too short: please, don’t waste your time writing code!
I’m not saying that you don’t have to code, but many people tend to waste too much time typing on the keyboard instead of producing code. Mee too.

Following examples relate to Android’s world, but that can be easily adapted to other languages and programming tasks.

Aliases

Android developers, how many times do you have to call the command adb? If your installation directory is something like

/opt/android/sdk

maybe you’re going to write /opt/android/sdk/platform-tools/adb many many times a day.

Don’t do it! Instead add the android /opt/android/sdk/platform-tools/ directory to your path or create an alias so you will only need to write adb!
